He’s everything I’ve been taught to fear …

When Imogen Demotta is sold at auction to Lincoln Knight, she fears she’s escaping one prison for another. Twice her age, Lincoln is an eccentric and reclusive billionaire, a genius or a monster depending on who you ask, his face hidden behind a mask as inscrutable as his actions.

But what if everything I’ve ever known has been a lie?

When Imogen arrives at his mansion, she soon realizes she and Lincoln are both haunted by their past, fighting demons that threaten to consume them. Can passion form in the ashes of their shared torment, or will it burn them both before they have a chance to escape?

I was trained to be a pawn…

But I will rise as a queen.
